Me again, sorry for multiple posts but now I'm here to thank Celina for her breakout! I felt like I really got a glimpse into how you work with your clients during their session and it too was magical! ✨

Drea Michelle Breakout Boudoir Session was GREAT! I learned some great posing and lighting tips from her. Our Models were so good and so different. We had so much fun just shooting and playing for the camera and each other. I really appricate that this genra was given a proper place at the confrence. I would love to continue to see this sort of options at future events! SO GOOD! Will be posting on IG and tagging models and MUA there. Hugs Y'all!

As I'm home and decompressing from the weekend, I just want to thank each and everyone one of the presenters and contributors to this experience. I initially registered so that I could meet more photographers in the area, but the amount of learning I had over the weekend was incredible. Most of all, I learned that this community has so much heart (as demonstrated by all the tears that were shed this weekend) with people really sharing their passions, souls and vulnerabilities. How lucky we are to have experienced this amazing event! Here's to 2020!

This conference was worth every penny. Also, Probably more. The Presenters were not only knowledgable, but really connected with me in a way I don’t think a large conference does. We really had time to connect on a one to one basis. Thank you!
I am so appreciative to have this amazing event so close to home, and that it's actually within my budget. I am grateful!
Last time I met people that I wished I'd known forever. This year it happened again. That's invaluable.

I had such a wonderful time last weekend, thank you to all the amazing speakers and Dan & Afton for all you did to make it so memorable!
Markie Lynne Stein-Jones
Jamie, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and all those parts of yourself too. Your keynote was incredible and I’m so proud of you for getting up there and doing that! Public speaking can be terrifying. 😉

I enjoyed meeting so many talented photographers last weekend. I learned a ton and look forward to next year. Special thanks for Aaron Nelson! I really enjoyed our break out session.

My turn to thank everyone involved in this past weekend. From organizers to speakers to models to volunteers to attendees. Thank you. It was fun, educational, and for me, a great distraction. I needed it for my soul. I don't share my struggles a lot publicly, other than some health crud. But, I've gone through hell and back with my teen daughter and it has been really hard on me lately (or even more than usual). I believe in being authentic, but don't post publicly about her, in case there comes a day she comes around and things are better,but until then...so, thank you all for a wonderful, much needed distraction. 💚

Thank you so much Afton for putting on a great breakout! I loved seeing the different ways your mind works to use nature to frame your subjects and I will totally be looking for more ways I can use this in my sessions now too. And these models ❤️ The dress ❤️ Everything was magical! Thank you again!
Grow in Your Craft.
I cannot believe we had Tiffany Burke, Eden Bao, Clinton James, Tashana Hayes, Jamie Buckley, Dawn Potter, and so many more amazing photographers. Honestly with the caliber of presenters, and the breakouts/ workshops this conference is everything I hoped it would be. I know that conferences like this go for $1500 each breakout, let alone the presentations. I cannot even wait to go home and implement all the tips and tricks and pointers I have learned this weekend!

I had so much fun and learned so much at Photolush 2019. Thank you, Dan and Afton and everyone else who worked behind the scenes to make it happen. Here are some of my favorite images I took from the breakouts I attended. Thank you, Jamie Buckley, Afton Lewis, and Celina Meza you all are amazing!
Stephanie Garrison
This was my first time attending Photolush and wow I was blown away by all the amazing talent surrounding me and the willingness to share their journey with someone like me. This being my first workshop ever I finally feel the confidence to step past the fear and finally pursue my photography dreams. Thank you all so much!!

I traveled almost 200 miles to attend and worth every minute of it!

Tiffany Burke's Breakout Session was such a blast and the model was gorgeous! So grateful for the opportunity to learn from some amazingly inspirational people last weekend!

Afton's breakout session at Rosario Beach was so amazing!!! Afton, your energy & attention to detail were incredible! I met you at Photolush last year, and right away was so impressed by your charisma, and outgoingness (if that's a word?) 😂 Anyways, thank you sooo much for this awesome session! I learned a lot!
